How to Build a Staircase
Step 9: Place and level patio stones
Each stringer should rest on top of a concrete patio stone. A 2"x8"x16" concrete patio stone works great, pick a stone that you think will look and work best. for your situation.
Use the frame of the stairs to find the location and placement of the patio stones. Dig a small hole 2-4 inches deeper than the thickness of the patio stone. Fill the hole with 2-4 inches of sand or crushed rock and place the patio stone on top. Verify that each patio stone is level with the base of the stairs and level with one another. Add or remove sand where needed.
